Also looking over was Jiang Yanchen. Like everyone else, he had a smile on his face, but the difference was that there was ridicule in his eyes.
Yin Ning could almost guess what he was thinking. He must be wondering in his heart, which one is real, the Yin Ning at this time or the Yin Ning last night.
If eyes could take off clothes, then all her skin would have been peeled off by Jiang Chenchen.
Meeting his gaze, Yin Ning's mind was filled with those unsightly images, and Pei Youhang actually felt that he owed her a debt by being away for too long.
Her heart was bound by moral shackles, and she felt uncomfortable even breathing.
"I'm going to touch up my makeup."
She excused herself to go out and catch her breath.
Pei Youhang was worried about her and followed her out, "Ning Ning? Are you okay?"
Facing Pei Youhang alone, Yin Ning instantly felt more comfortable.
She shook her head. She was just misunderstood, and now her eyes were really wet.
"Hey." Pei Youhang helplessly held her in his arms. Yin Ning had just reached his shoulders and was buried in the crook of his neck just right.
He said: "You know? I have missed you too in the past six months, Ning Ning. I will never let you down. I will definitely do what I promised you."
Yin Ning almost drowned in his tenderness, but she couldn't convince herself to feel at ease.
"Youhang." Yin Ning's voice was muffled, "Will your parents like me? I'm afraid."
"Even if they don't like it, I will marry you!" Yin Ning could tell that Pei Youhang was really happy.
"Don't be afraid. My parents are very good people and they will definitely like you."
Yin Ning didn't know what to say, so she hummed, feeling worried.
The door to the private room was opened, and Yin Ning knew who it was just by seeing the shoes and trouser legs.
She subconsciously wanted to leave Pei Youhang's arms, but Pei Youhang held her down and secretly laughed at her, "You are so shy, what will you do next?"
Yin Ning stopped moving and buried her face tightly.
Jiang Chenchen glanced at her with a cigarette in his mouth, "What's wrong with her?"
Pei Youhang was helpless with a hint of smile, "Think of what I want, just let me coax you."
Jiang Chenchen sneered.
This sneer fell in Yin Ning's ears, like a pair of invisible hands, quietly pinching her life gate. She hid a huge secret in her heart. Only she and Jiang Chenchen knew it, but this man was the biggest variable.
Pei Youhang and Jiang Chenchen have known each other since childhood. Those people inside can only be said to be Pei Youhang's casual acquaintances, and Jiang Chenchen and Pei Youhang have such a good relationship that they can wear a pair of pants.
Even Pei Youhang, a very well-educated gentleman, always kept his temper in front of others, but he didn't say anything in front of Jiang Chenchen.
"Why are you laughing? It's not time for you to coax Sister Sinan?"
Jiang Chenchen's voice sounded again, "Do I need to teach you two moves?"
"What can I learn from you? If you have the ability, go abroad and chase Sister Sinan back."
Yin Ning pricked up her ears to listen, and Jiang Chenchen said casually: "It's my ability to let others come to my door. Don't you think so? Sister Yin Ning?"
Yin Ning trembled and subconsciously tightened her grip on Pei Youhang's clothes. No one else would think much about it, only she would uncontrollably feel that Jiang Yanchen was talking about her.
Pei Youhang laughed and scolded from the side, "Get out of here."
Jiang Chenchen didn't intend to ask Yin Ning any more and walked to the bathroom alone with long legs.
Yin Ning raised her head, her face turned red from depression, and she asked, "Who is Sister Sinan?"
Pei Youhang explained to her, "Oh, it's Chen Chen's first love. The two dated for four or five years, but it's a pity that they broke up. I'll tell you slowly when I get back and have time."
"oh."
Pei Youhang suddenly thought of something, smiled and rubbed the top of her head.
"It's quite strange for both of us. Our first love was that of brother and sister."
Yin Ning's smile became a little forced when she heard the words "first love". Whatever he said later, her smile was forced.
-
When a group of people played until midnight, Yin Ning was so sleepy that she yawned twice.
Pei Youhang keenly observed her absent-mindedness and asked: "Tired?"
Yin Ning didn't want to spoil his mood and shook her head, "No."
"There is a rest room upstairs. I will take you to sleep for a while." As he said that, he picked up Yin Ning's coat and bag. "We are going to the beach to watch the sunrise at dawn. I don't want you to fall asleep next to me. .”
Not sure if Pei Youhang had other intentions, Yin Ning could only laugh dryly, "Okay."
And that meaningful gaze was cast again. The owner of the gaze was smoking a cigarette. While everyone's attention was on the card game, he seemed to say unintentionally: "Are you leaving now?"
Pei Youhang replied: "It's too late, I'll take her to rest."
Someone shouted: "Hangzi can't wait, right? I didn't hear my sister say she was sleepy."
Jiang Chenchen sat in the back seat with a meaningful smile, "I'll give you half an hour, is that enough? I'm still waiting for you to count the cards."
Pei Youhang laughed angrily, "Do you think I am you?"
After saying that, he held Yin Ning's waist and left. The two of them took the room cards and entered the rest room one after another.
There was only a double bed inside, and Yin Ning sat down beside the bed nervously. She thought Pei Youhang would do something to her the moment the door closed. After all, they hadn't seen him for half a year. But she was not ready, the traces of yesterday had not faded, and even along the way she was thinking about how to refuse.
But Pei Youhang did nothing. Until she lay under the white quilt, he just squatted by the bed and looked at her with a warm smile.
The room was very dark, and Pei Youhang raised his hand to turn on the orange wall lamp beside the bed for her.
"You go to sleep for a while. I'll come up and call you later."
This tenderness was enough to make Yin Ning cry.
How virtuous and capable she is.
"Aren't you going to stay with me? Aren't you tired?"
Pei Youhang was slightly startled, took her hand and stuffed it back into the quilt, then planted a kiss on her forehead.
The light highlighted the profile of his face, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, his voice was hoarse, and his words were full of patience.
"Ning Ning, it's not the time yet."
Although he is younger than Yin Ning, his words and deeds are very measured, restrained and polite. Although he seems gentle, he controls the relationship between him and Yin Ning very principledly.
When Yin Ning first got together with him, what she liked was his quiet strength.
If you move too quickly, the novelty will wear off quickly. If it's too slow and you can't feel the fun, the relationship will fade sooner or later.
Yin Ning thought more than once that marrying Pei Youhang would be the best decision in her life.
But every time such a thought appears, what follows is Jiang Yanchen's face. There is no doubt that Yin Ning played a good game of chess and got to where she is today. She can even foresee the future ending. It means losing everything.
"Okay." She responded to Pei Youhang with a smile, with a tiny glint in her eyes.
-
After Pei Youhang left, Yin Ning could finally relax.
But there were so many things in her mind that it drove away the sleepiness she had just felt.
The phone rang and it was a number whose name was not saved.
She knew who it was but didn't want to answer.
Last night alone had already cost her half of her life.
